Kitchen chairs and benches: how to choose them?

To assist you in making the right choice, sweeek offers its expertise, providing you with some ideas and tips.

The style

Much like dining room chairs, there are many styles of kitchen chairs and benches, ranging from classic designs to more contemporary creations. You can choose chairs made of wood, metal, plastic, or fabric. Benches, on the other hand, are generally made of wood or metal.

The dimensions

The standard dimensions of a kitchen chair are as follows:

  • Seat height: 45 to 48cm
  • Seat depth: 40 to 45cm
  • Seat width: 40 to 45cm

It is important to check the dimensions of your kitchen table before purchasing chairs or a bench. Chairs should be tall enough to allow you to sit comfortably without having to lean. In certain cases, you can also opt for bar stools.

Matching your chairs

You can match your kitchen chairs or bench to your table, or you can create a contrast. If you choose to match, opt for similar colours or materials. To create contrast, select chairs or a bench in a different colour or made from a contrasting material.

Types of kitchen chairs

There are various types of kitchen chairs, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

  • Classic chairs: These are the most common. They are usually made of wood or metal and offer good comfort.
  • Designer chairs: These chairs are more original and bold. They can be made from wood, metal, or modern materials such as plastic or glass.
  • Folding chairs: These are practical if you have limited space. They fold for easy storage.
  • Chairs with armrests: These chairs offer more comfort than classic chairs and are ideal if you spend a lot of time at the table.

Arranging your chairs

The arrangement of your kitchen chairs and benches is important for both comfort and aesthetics. If you have a rectangular table, arrange the chairs so that everyone can see and converse with each other. For a round table, place the chairs in a way that ensures easy access for everyone.

The most harmonious pairings

Here are some good combinations between kitchen tables and kitchen chairs/benches:

  • Wooden table and metal chairs: this combination is classic and elegant.
  • Wooden table and fabric chairs: this combination is comfortable and cosy.
  • Glass table and wooden chairs: this combination is modern and minimalist
